The Rock finds idea of running for president 'very alluring'

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson ranks among the most popular WWE stars of all time, which could potentially translate well to a presidential campaign should he ever consider running.

The Washington Post ran a piece earlier this month about the political viability of Johnson running for president, which piqued Johnson's interest. He shared a snippet of the article on Instagram, describing the idea as "very alluring."

Interesting piece from The Washington Post on if I ran for POTUS I could actually win. Writer Alyssa Rosenberg did some pretty good research into my background (slave descendants fighting for their freedom, Revolutionary War etc). Much more to uncover but well done. More and more pieces like this are popping up due to the Presidential election and they're cool/fun to read... I care DEEPLY about our county... and the idea of one day becoming President to create real positive impact and global change is very alluring. Buuuuut until that possible day, the most important thing right now is strong honest leadership from our current and future leaders of this country. Thanks again Washington Post.
